Either I'm asking the wrong questions, or Google has no clue what I'm talking about! Are tanks that are pre-drilled, commonly called "reef ready," generally tempered glass on the non-drilled panels? For example, a 120g with a corner overflow- would its back panel probably be tempered, or does that depend entirely on the manufacturer? And can the holes in the bottom be plugged somehow if I wanted to drill the back for a bean animal overflow? Is that even safe?
I've been keeping my eyes peeled for a used 120 that I can drill for BA, and there's a reef-ready one for sale about 1.5hrs away, which is a bit of a drive just to check if the back panel is tempered- and I'm not so sure I could trust the evaluation to a motivated seller. They might tell me anything I want to hear for the sake of moving that tank. I figured I'd ask to see if anyone else has any experience with this. Thanks!
